If we are all the dead conversing with the dead, I like to think the language we use to bridge the space between us is called music.

Songs for the Elegy Issue (A Selection)

A series of songs chosen by Issue X’s contributors, a mix to light up all that desperate quiet & sing the grief alive.

Preorders are Open for Issue X: Elegy

In this issue we look back on the years stolen or borrowed, hold our grief open & stand very still in the strain of song that washes from its depths.

A selection of songs that have marked this era of fluid warmth, the soundtrack to which we’ve been dreaming a bright new thing into breath.

Half Mystic returns in full colour—welcome, dear songbirds, to the preorder period for the synaesthesia issue.

This is the final season of Half Mystic Radio. As we wrap up the series, we want to celebrate this magnificent thing we made with you.

From the Editor: the Aubade Issue

My first memory is the most beautiful song I ever heard. An act of peace. An intake of breath. A space suffused with hymn.

The aubade reading period was one of our busiest yet, with hundreds of submissions reimagining dawn in tender, intricate ways.

Featuring Kate Bucca’s poems "Known Quantity" and "August Storm", and Paola Bennet’s song "Antidote".
